The rates on these two roads sre almost identical with Union Pacific rates, and, therefore it is not necessary to reproduce the comparison. Sufficient 1t is to say that the rates are enough to show that highwaymen ought to leave this country in disgust atter reading them. Judge Mason’s letter to S. H. H. Clark and the Missouri Pacific is as follows: BoARD OF TRANSPORTATION, LINCOLN, July 28,—8, . H, Clark, Vice President Missouri Pacifie, St. Louis: have not deemed it necessary to transmit to you a tabulated statement and comparison of your local rates on freight nmplped over your road, a3 your rates are identical with those of the Unlon Pacitic railr a printed compara- tive statement of which Is herewith trans- mitted for your intormation. Tnese local rates are extortionately high when compared with lowa and Minnesota. They are too high and must be reduced. ‘They are not ressonable. Your road runs through the settled ?trrflnn of the state, where the vol- ume of traflic is large when compared with the average tariff in lowa or Minnesota and nearly as large as the traflic on the B. & M. railrond for 300 miles west of Lincoln, You W will observe that you charge $1.24 per 100 pounds for 800 miles on first class freight when the B, & M. railroad charges seventy- five cents, and you charge seventy-five cents on fourth class when the B. & M. railroad charye sixty-two cents on the same class. ‘These rates must be reduced to the Iowa and Minnesota standard. The Illinois rate is still lower than any of the states named for the same distance. They charge for 300 miles fifty-nine cents and on fourth class thirty cents. The lumber rates are too high, and also the grain rates and you are requested to give this matter immediate attention and adjust your tariffs on a basis more equitable and just. Yours truly, 0. P.

Yesterday morning Judge Pond ren- dered a decision in the railroad case that the companies, as is their usual custom, attempted to have removed to the United States court. Nine of the cases were for xlumuf‘ea agaimst the B, & M., and were brought by victims in the wreck at the new town of Deweese nearly a year ago. The parties were in the greater part poor Iaboring men, who were killed and maimed, not by their own carelessness, and if the cases were remoyed to the United States court it would have been harder for them to eon- w test for their rights, but the decision as rendered by Judge Pound gives these facts a bearing in the dis- trict court which will be & direct saving of time and axpensn, The cases of Raymond Bros. & Co. and H. P. Law it also decided yesterday, are to be tried in the courts here notwith- standing the vigorous efforts of the Union Pacific attorney, A. J.

During th afternoon therefore there began to de- velop that mysterious calmness in the air which foretold that a riot storm was going to burst. In those days the orange- men were openly encouraged by the au- thorities and no steps were taken to curb the excesses of their demonstrations. Several fr: ensued and several lives were lost on both sides. One of the fiere est conflicts ocenrred in the market place where a large bontire had been built and lighted. THE CONTEST HAD RAGED s0 long with varying resuits around the fire that when the attacking party was finally driven back the ftire was nearly extinguished. An orangeman namcd Michael Foster therefore began to rake and rekindle the fire, and while thus en- ¥u;:wl he received a fatal shot in the back, alling forward on his face among the glowing charcoal embers, Such was the consternation that followed that nobody had vresence of mind to drag the unfor- tunate man from his position, aud his head and part of kis hody were almost consumed when friendly hands were out- stretehied to rescue him. “Suspicion,casting about for some per son with a plausable motive to commit the act, soon found a victim. It was well remembered that Michael Foster had been a witness affainst Bob Howley at Dublin. Moreover it was averred by some that the murdered man had openly boasted of baving cut down the elder Howley with bis own_hand at Viezar Hill his clue was seized with avidity, and a fow hours Robert Howley was in Wexford jail. EVIDENCE, SUCH AS IT WAS, true or falss, was quickly forthcoming against the gay and reckless young man, Young Howley, with characteristic in- eniousness, admitted that he was at exford on the night of July 12 and that he carried his gun with™ him; but solemnly denied that he was the mur- derer of Foster,or that he had ever heard the deceased's alleged boast of having slain his father until that moment. It didn't watter what he said or what he de nied, the magistrates committed him,and- i for the secoud time he was put on trial arrest Ellen wrote to- her ddvocate-lover respecting the new trouble, and again implored his assistance 1 the terrible emergency. Roche quickly realized that almost insuperable difficiities now ob- tained to making u suceesstul defense for the unfortunate young man. Besides, it would not be prudent for him to pléad for the prisoner’s life a second time. He therefore secretly instructed a barrister who was a strong government man and a Protestant to proceed fuietly to Wex- ford and conduct the defense.’ “The day of trinl arrived,” said a chronicler of the time, whose brief narra- tive the reporter was pormitted to copy, “and Howley's counsel would probably have succeeded in neutralizing the feeble testimony against his client but for a ci cumstance which, though probably in- tended to save him, was undoubtedly the cause of his destruction. On his way to the court house to give evidence on the trial, the piincipal witness against How- ley was fired at from a plantation beside the roadway and wounded in the arm. The ball passed through the flesh with- out breaking the bones, and the man, ufter having the wound dressed, persisted in presenting himself at court to give his evidence.

The trouble was that the younger members would not brook the restraints imposed by the laws and rules of the society.

The society had its origin in France and settled in a body at Nauvoo, 11, but moved to the present location in 1854, before the organization of this section into counties. The founder was Etienne Cabet.
